  • A Study of the Development of Post-War Political Parties in Kosovo
    From Guerillas to Cabinets - A Study of the Development of Post-War Political Parties in Kosovo Master Thesis Mariana Qamile Rød University of Bergen Department of Comparative Politics i Abstract The fourth Yugoslav war, the war in Kosovo, was fought between 1998 and 1999. The Kosovo Liberation Army and the Armed Forces of the Republic of Kosovo, fought the Serb police, military and paramilitary forces, but also at some points each other. The war was a battle between a Kosovan guerilla uprising, against a far superior Serb military power. The game changed as the international community, and most importantly NATO, intervened to put an end to the war. The KLA was a rapidly growing, sporadically organized guerilla movement. It was established as a result of increasing oppression from the Milosevic regime against the Kosovo Albanians, as a more radical faction than the pacifist Albanian resistance movement, LDK. Despite of their problems, the KLA became national heroes, and their political successors are still in 2017 dominating the political arena. This thesis main research question is; "How has the war legacy affected the development of political parties in post-conflict Kosovo?" To answer my research question, I conducted 22 qualitative interviews with Kosovan ex-combatants and politicians, in addition to an extensive document analysis. Through five different theoretical frameworks, each highlighting different important aspects affecting the development of political parties in a post-conflict state, I tried to uncover which processes and actors have been decisive in this regard. The five theories yield important results on their own, but when combined, it becomes obvious how these processes are not linear and multidimensional.

  • Einführung in Die Albanologie
    Wilfried Fiedler Einführung in die Albanologie Meißen 2006 (Vorläufige Version; Unvollständig) Einführung in die Albanologie 1 I. Bibliographie Die erste "Albanesische Bibliographie" von Ing. Manek, Dr. G. Pekmezi und Ob.- Leut. A. Stotz erschien in Wien 1909. Sie bietet auf XII+147 Seiten die auf Albanien bezogenen literarischen Werke und Veröffentlichungen, angefangen von Homer und den Autoren des klassischen Altertums mit Stellenangaben bis 1909. Nützlich ist noch heute an diesem sonst eher bescheidenen Werk das Sach-Register auf den SS. 144-147. Einen wissenschaftlich wesentlich solideren Eindruck macht die "Bibliographie Albanaise" von Émile Legrand, Paris-Athènes 1912. Sie besticht durch die Anführung der Titel in den Originalschriften auch in drucktechnischer Hinsicht. Dieses VIII+228 SS. umfassende Handbuch beginnt mit der Türkenzeit - mit den historischen Werken über die Kämpfe gegen die Türken im 15.-16. Jh., und sie ist ebenfalls chronologisch geordnet und mit detaillierten Indizes versehen. Es sei erwähnt, daß von dieser wertvollen Überblicksdarstellung zur DDR-Zeit in Leipzig beim Zentralantiquariat ein Nachdruck erschienen ist, der noch heute zu finden ist. Besonders für die sprachwissenschaftliche Albanologie sind die bibliographischen Angaben unentbehrlich, die seit 1914 im "Indogermanischen Jahrbuch" (in der Abteilung VII., zunächst von A. Thumb, ab Band IV [bis 1938] von N. Jokl betreut, unter der Bezeichnung "Albanesisch", ab Band III "Albanisch") erschienen sind und somit glücklicherweise unmittelbar an die Bibliographie von Legrand anschließen. Namentlich die im Vergleich zu anderen Gebieten sehr ausführlichen Besprechungen von Jokl sind noch jetzt von großem Wert und helfen uns, den Inhalt der manchmal ja sehr schwer zugänglichen Arbeiten festzustellen. Jokl hat auch den Kreis der zu besprechenden Arbeiten sehr weit gefaßt, so finden wir auch Bücher usw., die nicht direkt sprachwissenschaftlich sind, andererseits wird auch auf Titel verwiesen, die eher vom balkanologischen als vom streng albanologischen Standpunkt aus interes- sant sind.

  • Ethnic Element in Albanian Valiant Epic Songs According to Demush Shala
    Volume 4, issue 10, 2015 e-ISSN: 1857-8187 p-ISSN: 1857-8179 Research Article Ethnoculture Ethnic element in Albanian Valiant epic songs Keywords: Valiant epic songs, ethnic element, according to Demush Shala Valiant‟s, epic, Albanian, Canon of Lekë Dukagjin, traditional, etc.. Vlorë Fetaj - Berisha Institute of Albanology in Prishtina, Republic of Kosova. Abstract Often perceived as a national treasure, Albanian valiant songs have raised the curiosity of foreign and at the same time Albanian researchers, which often has lead to deep and important scientific studies to the subject. In this context, important contribution has been given also by Prof. Demush Shala; researcher, classifier, publisher and collector of Albanian folklore. Here we shall present some of the arguments brought forward by D. Shala232, as to prove the authenticity and the presence of Albanian Ethnicity within the Albanian Valiant epic songs. In addition to other research studies needed in regard to the Albanian Valiant epic songs, the ethnical element undoubtedly presents also a very important research subject. Throughout the evolution and strata developments of this category of songs, many traits are “attributed to the national specifics”233. Albeit not many of them, other researchers have also emphasized the presence of the authenticity within this ethnical category. In this order, Qemal Haxhihasani says (unassertively enough according to Shala) ,,Here we find expression and reflection of the patriarchal family reports, the authority of older to the younger brother, husband to wife, brother to sister; heroic conception of life, honor and faith; honoring the guest, the revenge, the evaluation of the opponent, respect for tradition"234.

  • New Research on Albanian Epic Songs
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by AIR Universita degli studi di Milano From the Archive to the Field: New Research on Albanian Epic Songs Zymer U. Neziri and Nicola Scaldaferri [1] This essay aims primarily to point out some new directions in research on Albanian epic song. Starting from archival materials and the issues they raise for further investigation in the field, it will focus in particular on certain structural elements of the songs related to their performance. The Albanian-language archival materials of the Milman Parry Collection of Oral Literature (henceforth MPCOL), collected in the 1930s by Milman Parry and Albert Lord, provide significant insight into the tradition. The first section offers an overview of the major collections and scholarly research on Albanian epics through the twentieth century, a rich body of work that includes local fieldwork-based studies as well as important foreign contributions, and that documents the geographical scope and contents of the Albanian epic tradition, which constitutes an important part of the oral heritage still alive in Europe today. The second section focuses more narrowly on the materials collected by Milman Parry and Albert Lord in the 1930s, exploring the ways in which those songs as well as the singers’ biographies—which have often been neglected in discussion of the MPCOL—still hold valuable insights for the study of oral poetry more broadly. In particular, this essay explores the implications of the collection process itself, as embedded in recordings and texts from the MPCOL. Finally, the third section summarizes some recent research conducted by the authors focusing on the singer Isa Elezi-Lekëgjekaj, one of the most important living practitioners of this epic tradition.

  • Fake Veterans' Case in a Nutshell
    Justice Today Snapshot Analysis Fake Veterans’ Case in a Nutshell 1 Justice Today Snapshot Analysis Fake Veterans’ Case in a Nutshell Author: Nita Kusari* February 2020 The Project “Monitoring the Judicial and Prosecutorial System in Kosovo” is funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office through the British Embassy in Pristina. The contents of this publication are the sole responsibility of the Group for Legal and Political Studies and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. *Monitor of the Project “Monitoring the Judicial and Prosecutorial System in Kosovo” 2 Executive Overview This analyses aims to analyze the procedural actions undertaken by the prosecution and the court in dealing with the case known as "Fake Veterans". As the prosecutorial and judicial system are the main institutions in the fight against organized crime and corruption, it is of particular importance and interest to analyze what has been done by these institutions to address this issue, in which senior institutional and political figures are involved. Part of this research are the analysis of the indictment, the decision of the Basic Court in Prishtina regarding the refusal of the measure to temporarily secure the property claim, the conflict of subject matter competences between the departments, the violations identified by Justice Today and the recommendations to the relevant institutions.1 According to the findings of this analysis, Justice Today notes that the indictment filed by the SPRK contains great flaws. The indictment includes all the defendants at one point in the enacting clause and fails to explain the defendants' incriminating actions separately, a necessary element in clarifying the role of each accused person in the case.
